If puppy grow up and walks and play and run on time flooring glossy tile flooring so can this lead to carpal values or east west legs like deviation of legs? Or is it totally depends upon genes and hereditary?

Slick floors won't contribute to angular limb deformities. It is hereditary. Injuries could contribute as well--an angular limb deformity could develop following a fracture. (if he breaks his leg) Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Danny is old enough that you do not have to worry. At almost 3 his growth plates have been closed for 1.5-2 years. I have not heard this about slippery floors. Though I guess it is possible. It has been linked to trauma, genetics, nutrition and the weight of the puppy. Have a good day!
